Donald Trump is a self-hating fool and a wimp, and so is Mr. Missing in Action, Rush Limbaugh
Only a self-hating fool and a wimp would have signed this bill, and only a self-hating fool and wimp would defend the self-hating fool and wimp who signed it. It's like Steve King voting to censure himself.
Donald Trump has proven himself over and over again to be unworthy of being our leader (repeal and replace Obamacare fizzled, tax cuts for corporations not for working stiffs, outrageous federal spending increases, and now a complete cave on immigration, all in two years!), and Rush Limbaugh has proven himself over and over again to be unworthy of being our spokesman for still defending the guy responsible for it, same as ever.
We need people in charge of our movement who have a killer instinct, instead of the lay down and die instinct on display in this disgusting episode of betrayal and talk radio sycophancy.
Terrible Budget Bill Will Be Used Against Trump in 2020:
I read enough of this [border bill] to know that the things in this bill are a giant middle finger to Donald Trump [By signing it Trump gave HIMSELF the finger]. ... This is an Obama-era policy that has been re-implemented in this budget bill [Obviously Trump was just kidding about promising to reverse the two DACA executive orders immediately ... tick tock tick tock 2+years says the clock]. ... And don’t forget, folks, there are a lot of Republicans in on this [Like Donald Trump!]. ... I went back and forth, too, on signing this or not and shutting down [says the lazy ass without principles who could have read everything being said on Twitter on the Thursday before by reliable people on our side calling for a veto of this pig of a bill but didn't and sat silent when he should have called for a veto like Laura Ingraham and Ann Coulter]. ... You can say goodbye to anything we or Trump wants coming out of Congress from the moment the Democrats win the House, over [Funny how Ronald Reagan got tax cuts passed without control of Congress]. ... But, you know, elections have consequences, and there are a lot of Republicans that retired [Still blaming less than 10 retirements which flipped for what was a 40+ seat catastrophe because Trump and Republicans failed to deliver on the campaign agenda]. ... Fifty-five Republicans quit! They resigned [total lie].

Finally, an article from the right which tells the truth about Trump's immigration betrayal
Trump Promised a Wall and Delivered an Amnesty:
The president who was elected by the forgotten middle of the country
on promises to build a wall, enforce immigration laws, and protect their
economic interests just signed into law a bill that betrays all of
those promises. ... Trump just signed a law that makes the wall, even if it is finally constructed,
less useful because it provides a large, ongoing, uncapped amnesty.
Further, the law expanded legal immigration by doubling the cap for H2B
unskilled, non-agricultural workers. This is slap in the face to the
working and middle class workers who President Trump repeatedly has
promised to protect and whose wages he says he wants to see increase.
Trump says tyrannical, socialist government will never happen to us
My health insurance plan costs me $15,520 a year before I even use it, and that's the cheap one.
There's profound meaning in Rush Limbaugh's incessant advertizing for sex drugs on his show
It reflects the impotence of the Republican brand to achieve anything since Rush has been on the air. Republicans have utterly failed to advance conservatism or restrain liberalism for thirty years.
Nobody's criticizing John Wayne for his unfounded optimism about minorities
"I believe in white supremacy until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility".
-- John Wayne, Playboy, 1971
Americans of that generation were generally more optimistic about everything, to a fault. Instead of responsibility, irresponsibility has spread in the interim, and infected the wider white majority.
Trump wants more bollard fence (National Emergency), and more legal immigrants than ever before (SOTU address)
Two main themes of every Trump rally in 2015-2016: More Bollard Fence! More Legal Immigrants!
Yeah, that's the way it was.

Trump and Republicans make total public debt soar
We've gone from $19.8 trillion in the hole on Nov 8, 2016 to $22 trillion on Feb 14, 2019.
Up $2.2 trillion!
Up 11%!
Up $81.5 billion per month!
Up $2.7 billion per day!
MAGA! MAGA! MAGA!
Rush Limbaugh puts in relief pitcher Ken Matthews so no one has to talk about the immigration debacle
Smollett! Smollett! Smollett! Amazon! The Weather! Talk about anything but immigration, please!
Campaign finance reform for the people
Under an expanded US House of Representatives, wouldn't current campaign finance laws still be a problem?
Well, duh.
But there is a simple solution.
Your man or woman in Congress should represent YOU, not Freedom Works, The Club for Growth, People for the American Way, Planned Parenthood or any other national organization, including his or her own political party. It is not right that the RNC collects contributions for Kevin Yoder in Kansas-3 and spends them on the US House race of Maria Elvira Salazar in Florida-27.
Your representative should represent YOU, and the money that elects him or her should represent you, too, and therefore all campaign contributions must come from his or her congressional district, from people and businesses actually domiciled within district boundaries. That's it. No other limits.
Nancy Pelosi can raise all the money she wants from tuna companies domiciled in her district who exploit workers on Pacific islands. Let the actual residents of her (much reduced in size) district decide if they're still OK with that. And Fred Upton of Whirlpool fortune fame in Michigan can find out for himself if his much reduced number of constituents are OK with making their lightbulbs more expensive or unobtainable.
Power to the people.
Democrat pollster Pat Caddell found the feeling of lack of representation drove Election 2016
The solution, as I've been saying for years now, is to expand representation. America has become a pressure cooker without a relief valve and is about to explode from a lack of representation.
We will not get "better" representation from the same old, same old limited number of Democrats and Republicans where the Speaker of the House gathers a majority of 218 votes to shove a shit sandwich down the throats of the American people. One man or one woman cannot adequately represent the interests of 750,000 people in a Congressional District. Neither can one man or one woman chief executive sitting in the White House adequately represent the interests of 329 million people. Senators elected by the people only complicate matters. They are supposed to represent their States, and their popular election only subverts the representation provided by Representatives to the US House.
The same old, same old stands in the way of expanding representation.
Americans should make more representation in Congress their number one objective and put the elites on notice that unless they expand representation in Congress, they are history. They can keep their seats in an expanded Congress with far less individual political power and influence for themselves, or they can have no power at all.
It's their choice. Give it up, or it's the guillotine.
1. The power of ordinary people to control our country is getting
weaker every day, as political leaders on both sides, fight to protect
their own power and privilege, at the expense of the nation’s
well-being. We need to restore what we really believe in – real
democracy by the people and real free-enterprise. AGREE = 87%; DISAGREE =
10%
2. The country is run by an alliance of incumbent politicians, media
pundits, lobbyists and other powerful money interests for their own
gain at the expense of the American people. AGREE = 87%; DISAGREE = 10%
3. Most politicians really care about people like me. AGREE = 25%; DISAGREE = 69%
4. Powerful interests from Wall Street banks to corporations, unions
and political interest groups have used campaign and lobbying money to
rig the system for them. They are looting the national treasury of
billions of dollars at the expense of every man, woman and child. AGREE =
81%; DISAGREE = 13%
5. The U.S. has a two-track economy where most Americans struggle
every day, where good jobs are hard to find, where huge corporations get
all the rewards. We need fundamental changes to fix the inequity in our
economic system. AGREE = 81%; DISAGREE = 15%
6. Political leaders are more interested in protecting their power
and privilege than doing what is right for the American people. AGREE =
86%; DISAGREE = 11%
7. The two main political parties are too beholden to special and
corporate interest to create any meaningful change. AGREE = 76%;
DISAGREE = 19%
8. The real struggle for America is not between Democrats and
Republicans but between mainstream American and the ruling political
elites. AGREE = 67%; DISAGREE = 24%
For years, the political elites have governed America for their
own benefit and to the detriment of the American people – this election
is the best chance in our lives to take back our government. AGREE = 63% (with 46% strongly agreeing); DISAGREE = 31%
Voters were then asked the same two questions of each candidate: Which
is closer to your opinion if (Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump) wins:
the political elites and special interests win; the political elite and
special interests lose.
By 65 percent to 35 percent voters
said that if Hillary Clinton wins the political elites WIN. And by an
opposite margin, the majority of voters said that by 57 percent to 43
percent the elites LOSE if Trump wins.
Significant numbers of Clinton’s own voters believe that her win is a victory for the unpopular elites and special political interests.
Did Billy Cunningham discuss Trump's immigration cave last night?
If he did I must have missed it. It wasn't in the first hour.
Expect nothing but spin from conservative talk radio on this, if they talk about it at all.
Everywhere I turn it's the bleating sheeple of MAGA, even as the Trumpster has been completely co-opted by the Swamp, on Obamacare, taxes and spending, and now immigration, his so-called priority issue.
Simply voting Republican will not do under these circumstances. Elected Republican officials either go along to get along, or they do the right thing and stop spending us blind. You can only vote for individuals who do the latter and call yourself a true born son of liberty.
The direct result of spending money we do not have is an exploding debt which must be serviced. To get away with this they must continue to suppress the natural rate of interest to keep the payments on the debt from exploding and tying our hands on the annual budget, crowding out spending on legitimate items. That's already happening, as interest payments soared to $523 billion in fiscal 2018, up 14% from 2017. The consequence of that reverberates throughout the economy, making it unattractive for anyone to lend, and that means poor economic growth with the knock-on effect of the fixed income side in every portfolio returning less and less to retirement portfolios, pension funds, insurance companies, lotteries, you name it.
In other words, more of the same shitty Obama economy we elected Trump to fix. It ain't happening.
You can put lipstick on this pig all you want. I ain't askin' her to dance.

George W. Bush abandoned free market principles to save banks and companies the free market was about to destroy, but hey, we can't have that! That's capitalism!
"I've abandoned free market principles to save the free market system" - George W. Bush
Meanwhile, millions of homeowners were destroyed, along with their jobs, their savings, and their hoped-for futures, never to return.
